Micro Focus GroupWise Web 18.2 - Part 1

What is GroupWise Web


In GroupWise 18.2, Micro Focus is pleased to introduce GroupWise Web. GroupWise Web has an updated UI to access your GroupWise mailbox on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops through your web browser.

While the feature sets are not identical, in the next release of GroupWise, GroupWise Web will replace GroupWise WebAccess. In GroupWise 18.2, you can continue to use WebAccess and introduce GroupWise Web dependent on your organization’s needs. We highly encourage you to transition your users from WebAccess to GroupWise Web.

As GroupWise Web will be replacing WebAccess, all new features and enhancements will only be added to GroupWise Web and not WebAccess. WebAccess will continue to be supported until the next release of GroupWise.

G-Suite IDM Driver v4.2 - Google API Quotas

 Google API Quotas


With the transition from the old Provisioning API to the Directory API via the Admin SDK, Google has introduced and exposed quotas on the various interfaces used by the G-Suite IDM Driver. Some people are seeing quota issues with their driver. This document details how to view your quotas, current usage levels, and how to request more quota from Google, should you need it.

Should you exceed your quota, your G-Suite driver will report this case to the trace log file and shutdown.


Managing Quotas


Your API quotas and current usage can be viewed at any time from your developer’s console: https://console.developers.google.com

Please note that Google can and does change their policies and web interfaces at any time without warning. The information provided here may no longer be correct or current, though we will attempt to keep it up to date.

TIP: Log in with the account used to create the project in the first place.

Select the project which created the credential used by the Google Driver. The overview will give you a snapshot of your usage overall.



From the APIs & Auth section, select APIs, then select Enabled APIs.


Select the Admin SDK. This API provides all services for the driver with the exception of Group Settings and Domain Shared Contacts. Selecting Usage will allow you to see a usage summary over time.


Select "Quotas" to see your current quotas and current remaining quota.




If you have exceeded your quota for requests per day, click the highlighted link to create a request to Google for more daily quota.

You can also go to this URL to directly access the Quota request form for the Admin SDK: https://support.google.com/code/contact/admin_sdk_quota

Clicking the "Change" button allows you to change your per-user limit of 15 requests per user per second, though it is unlikely that the driver will ever exceed this threshold.

For more information on the Admin SDK and quota limits, please see this Google documentation: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/directory/v1/limits
